How to Share Your Prime Video Account With Family

However, you should be aware that there is a limit to how many devices you can download Prime Video titles for offline viewing. A single Prime Video account can register up to 10 devices, with up to 3 concurrent streams allowed at once. To add more devices, you may need to remove existing ones.

Why Can’t I Watch Prime on My Other TV
If you are facing issues with watching Prime Video on your TV, here are some possible causes and the solutions to them:
- Incompatible TV: Some TVs, especially older models, do not support Prime Video. You can check the compatibility and look for your TV brand and model. If your TV is not compatible, you may need to use a streaming device such as Fire TV Stick, Roku, or Chromecast to watch Prime Video on your TV.
- Internet connectivity issues: You need a stable internet connection to watch Prime Video. Check if your TV is connected to the internet by going to your TV settings and looking for the network or Wi-Fi option. If your TV is not connected, you may need to troubleshoot your router or modem or enter your network password.
- Expired or canceled Prime membership: To watch Prime Video, you must have an active Prime membership. Check your Prime membership status by going to Your Account and signing in to your account. Click on “Your Prime Membership” and view your membership details. If your membership has expired or been canceled, you may need to renew or reactivate it to watch Prime Video.
Wrapping Up
That’s it! Sharing your Prime Video account is easy through Amazon Household or sharing credentials (password) with your friends or family.
